Abstract
Most of the cases of non-fulminant hepatitis A carry good renal and overall prognosis. Here we present a case of acute renal failure associated with acute non-fulminant hepatitis A, for which kidney biopsy showed interstitial nephritis and tubular necrosis. We also review the literature and possible pathogenesis.
